Greg Kelly’s blunt warning on Newsmax — that “it might be a time for war with Venezuela” — captured a truth too many in Washington have been afraid to say aloud. After months of unchecked cartel activity, a regime that shields traffickers, and a flood of illegal narcotics killing Americans, cautious hedging is no longer adequate. If Greg Kelly’s show gets one thing right, it’s that weakness invites chaos and the only language tyrants understand is strength.
President Trump has gone from thunder to action, warning that land strikes will “start very soon” and even telling pilots and traffickers to treat Venezuelan airspace as closed, a posture that signals real resolve after mere words failed for years. This is not saber-rattling for ratings; it’s a deliberate escalation aimed at saving American lives and stopping fentanyl at its source. The White House and the Pentagon are moving assets into position and making it plain that the United States will not tolerate narco-regimes that export death.
Make no mistake: the administration has already been striking maritime targets and disrupting smuggling routes, actions that have produced pushback from the usual suspects but that underscore a hard reality — when diplomacy and sanctions stall, you use the instruments of national power. Critics will scream about legality and optics while families at the border grieve children lost to poison. Americans deserve leaders who put protection of our streets and our children above the fragile sensibilities of international journalists and do-nothing lawmakers.
The left-wing media and the bipartisan blob in D.C. will try to turn this into a debate about motives instead of focusing on outcomes: fewer dead Americans, fewer cartel bosses walking free, and a restored sense of deterrence in the hemisphere. Those defenders of the status quo prefer open borders and moralizing lectures to hard decisions that save lives. Patriots recognize that foreign policy isn’t a sermon; it’s a practical endeavor to keep our country safe and secure.
Yes, Congress has a role, and yes, the rule of law matters — but so does the Constitution’s grant of executive authority in matters of national defense and the president’s duty to repel threats that directly harm the homeland. If colleagues in Congress refuse to act, do they want to explain the next overdose to the grieving parents in their districts? Leadership means making the hard calls when the alternative is surrendering our streets and our sovereignty to transnational criminals.
Americans who work for a living don’t want endless hand-wringing; they want results. If the president and patriots on outlets like Newsmax are pressing for decisive action against Maduro’s narco-regime, conservatives should stand shoulder to shoulder behind them — not because war is a pleasure, but because sometimes force is the surest path to peace and the only way to protect our families. The time for soft talk is over; the time for defending America is now.
